Trying The right clutch for My EVO 8, But dont really wanna spend alot of money, Car has injen Pipes,tbe, Evo 9 Turbo,Perrin Front Mount Intercooler, HKS 272 Cams, Aem Cam gears, OEM injectors.

 

With your mods you really could stick with something like the Exedy stage 1 if you don't drive too aggressive but i'd be worried about longevity. I'd probably suggest you run the ACT HD Or Fidanza 3.1 kit. Either one will hold up to what you're doing and drive well on the streets.

 

Save your money and get a twin disk exedy or QM thats my advice

 

he doesn't have the mods the justify that kind of a clutch at all.

 

yes he does.. he is full bolt on with stock injectors besides if he plans to mod more he will already have the clutch to support...

 

I have ACT six puck in mine and no problems with it.

 

Thats the worst advice I've heard all day. Why would he spend $1300+ on a clutch setup when his car isn't even close to requiring it?

 

Depending on how you drive check out either the Competition Stage 2 or Stage 4. Those are going to be your cheapest options and both are very good clutches. I personally have the Stage 3 but its a bit more money since its Kevlar. The Stage 2 will be good for aggressive street driving and autocross, but if you drag race/launch the car the Stage 4 would probably be your better bet.

 

Your one of the few brother....

 

to the Op... Do a little research and you will find that ACT locks out of in my case breaks apart.. I would stay away from them.. I can send you some pictures if you like... it lasted 3000 miles. Go with Exedy stage 1 or 2.. you can go with a twin... but you dont really need it unless your going to upgrade (bigger turbo or meth). Im in the process of installing a Spec twin.. but thats because Im going to be arming the meth for the 1st time.

 

Are you serious? Terrible advice...? How is his car not even close to requiring it... Many people run Twin disks for Full Bolt on Set ups.... He has a TBE.... IC PIPES... Intercooler... CAMS... Evo 9 Turbo... Probably has a Manual boost controller aswell just didnt post in his Sign... Can easily make 400 hp right there with a proper tune. Hmm you dont need a fp red/35R to run a twin if thats what your thinking ?? You pay only once for a twin disk after that the rebuilds are about 500-550$

 

$500 for a rebuild is still more than my entire clutch costs. Single disc clutches are the way to go for the majority of cars IMO, especially when on a budget.

 

Thats why i posted... Save up for it??? clearly you can still drive a car with a slipping clutch just dont full throttle till your ready to install the new clutch after SAVING for it...

 

I still agree that a twin disk is not right for him or needed. Regardless, when he's looking for something cost effective, as he mentioned, there is no point in trying to force the issue.

Fidanza, or Competition would be good. The Competition 6 puck is a nice kit that I have used quite a bit, too.
